Years ago, Tom Brady Sr. (the quarterback's father), was reluctant to compare his son to the superstar basketball player Michael Jordan. (see New York Daily News).

Years later, comparing Brady to Jordan is a pastime for the sports-minded.

Measured against the conventional interpretation of athleticism (foot speed and leaping ability), Jordan and Brady do not belong in the same sentence, paragraph, column or ballpark. Jordan was a beautiful bald eagle in majestic flight, and Brady is a dimpled penguin waddling from place to place...Brady's staggering accomplishments have challenged the conventional interpretation of athleticism. If a young man can be drafted by a pro baseball team (the Montreal Expos in 1995) and a pro football team (the Patriots in 2000) and spend a lifetime throwing 20-yard outs on a dime while large and angry opponents are trying to cut him in half, how unathletic can he be? So Brady vs. Jordan is a tough debate on every level. We need some fun in the mix to settle this one, and we need some categories. (Ian O'Connor, Jan 26, 2018)

One of those 'categories' is who is better at playing cosmic baseball...
